Nate was surprised by an in-game Goomba ambush - guess those enemies aren't sticking to the script!

02:33

Paper Mario 3DS looks sharp, bright and vibrant - not too much dialogue from this video!

Nate's first game was Paper Mario N64, he's worked on every game in the series since.

02:32

Nate Bihldorff is up to talk about Paper Mario. "I'm gonna play some video games here now" - best job ever?

02:32

"The sticker system adds new strategy to gameplay and battles"

02:32

Paper Mario: Sticker Star is up next

02:31

18th November 2012 for Disney Epic Mickey 3DS in North America.

02:31

Holiday season release for Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion

02:31

Warm applause for Epic Mickey 3DS. Game looks like it has some class.

02:30

Gameplay footage of Epic Mickey 3DS - looks as good as ever!

Great Mario homages, artwork looks ace, levels based on Aladdin, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast - all sorts!

02:29

Just as an aside, I have a blister on my thumb. That means I'm missing sleep AND enduring pain to bring this live text to you. You're lucky.

02:28

Peter Ong used to like to play and complete Castle of Illusion every day!

02:28

Ong clearly not used to standing on stage and talking to thousands of people.

02:27

Ong's explaining a concept that started with drawing items on the touch screen then going to the top screen. DreamRift got a call from Disney and it all went from there.

02:26

Spector and Ong are discussing Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion for 3DS

02:26

Warren Spector might be the nicest man in the whole industry.

02:26

Warren Spector and Peter Ong up now to talk about Disney Epic Mickey

02:25

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon will hit stores and eShop this holiday. Trailer in the US eShop now apparently!

02:24

OK it's a different trailer. Luigi just got in a lift.

02:24

Not hard to imagine how impressive that'll look in 3D.

02:24

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon looks good too: really stylish and full of character

02:23

Same trailer we saw yesterday though, I think. Not sure though, I've slept since then (briefly)

02:23

Now now now

02:23

Dave Cox has left now and Scott Moffitt is back. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon on now

02:22

Promising "epic combat, deep exploration and challenging puzzles"

02:21

Four playable characters including Alucard

02:20

It has to be said, Castlevania 3DS looks graphically amazing: great lighting, animation and design

02:19

You can grab and block in combat; much deeper than other Castlevanias

02:18

It's much more like an action adventure game than others - big combos and giant enemies seem the order of the day

02:18

Always nice to hear about a 3DS exclusive, especially a Castlevania one!

02:17

Konami producer Dave Cox is on stage now to talk about Castlevania.

02:17

And there's some weird comic cut scene with goblins and trolls!

02:17

Castlevania for 3DS is out this fall - Alucard gets a special mention

02:16

We saw this trailer yesterday but it still looks good. Nice blend of 3D and 2D - really stylish.

02:15

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate might be the worst name ever, but it looks ace!

02:14

Scott is talking up third-party publishers on 3DS. Castlevania is up first!

02:14

Super Mario 3D Land 2m US sales, MK7 1.6m, Ocarina 1m

02:13

Seems we will see some new 3DS games today

02:12

Scott is talking about StreetPass - his Mii is an uncanny likeness!

02:12

Seems he's only there as a mascot, don't think he has a game though.

02:11

It is! Non-Specific Action Figure gets a big cheer.

02:11

Special guest coming out first - could it be Non-Specific Action Figure?

02:10

Spotted Kevin Cassidy of GoNintendo fame in the audience. What a beard!

02:10

This banter between Reggie and Scott Moffitt is classic stuff. BANTER.

02:09

He's already fluffed his lines.

02:09

Reggie Fils-Aime is kicking things off. People are clapping but we can't hear them.

02:09

OK here we go, we are now commencing the 3DS presentation. PREPARE FOR GAMES!

02:08

Still waiting. Anyone know any good jokes?

02:06

We're about to start!

The usual requests for people to turn their phones off. Fat chance.

02:05

While this feed is silent, I'm listening to Watch the Throne by Kanye West and Jay-Z. It's quite a good album, if you like that sort of thing.

02:03

The presentation is starting a little late, just for a change.

Expect it "soon"

02:02

It's 2am. Where's my conference, Nintendo? *shakes fist*

01:59

"Presentation will start at 6pm PST" - that's in about two minutes. Be quick!

01:58

The Wii U E3 conference had 636 comments. Can this one top it?

01:57

All you can see are reporters' laptops, tablets and phones. Do they not know they could have live texted this from the UK?

01:53

Less than 10 minutes to go so get comfy. Bring me a snack!

01:41

There better be some Animal Crossing news tonight or I'll have stayed up for nothing. Make it happen, Nintendo!

01:32

30 minutes and counting!

01:24

Your dinner stories are making me hungry. Time for junk food. Yum.

01:18

So, prediction time. Who's expecting what?

01:15

We have the live video feed now! Come watch the 3DS software showcase, kicking off in 45 minutes.

01:10

Our 3DS conference live text is up! Come join in the fun!

01:09

I'm finding it oddly entertaining to hear about what you had for dinner. Anyone take any photos?

01:08

This is James, by the way, in case you wonder who's breaking our no-first-person rule. I'll be up to bring you the live text of Nintendo's 3DS games and trying not to go too mad. Should be interesting!

01:04

So, what did everyone eat for dinner? I had a gourmet burger. It was so big I couldn't fit my whole mouth around it.

01:02

I am up and ready and refreshed to bring this live text to you! Hopefully we'll have a live video stream too but that depends. Will keep you posted!
